Mannock's Grave?
Many years ago I remember seeing a video which suggested a grave at Laventie was that of Mick Mannock. I have been to this grave a few times, and it still remains an 'Unknown Aviator'. Is there any recent thinking/research on this?

The last I read was some research which scotched the Laventie myth on the grounds that the grave of the Unknown British Airman at Laventie is in a plot containing burials dating from 25 February to 28 April 1917.

A truncated version of the Cross and Cockade article appeared in Issue
58 of The Bulletin, the news journal of the Western Front Association.

Many thanks for that - was that an article by Tony Spagnoly? I must have that Bulletin somewhere, so will chase that up.

The author of the article was Chris Page, who credits research by Trevor Foreman, Frank Dorber, and Les Cook.
